Conservative Party education spokesman Michael Gove said: 'Over 1,000 pupils a day are excluded for assault and abuse.

'Teachers don't feel they have the power to deal with disruption.'

The Conservatives have pledged to make it easier for teachers to use reasonable force to deal with violence and remove disruptive pupils.

In the UK city of Hull, just 25 per cent of secondary schools were judged good or better for pupil behaviour at their last inspection.

A survey by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers found that teachers believe behaviour in schools is worse than it was five years ago, with pupils as young as five being disrespectful, intimidating and violent.

Almost four in 10 teachers said they have encountered physical aggression in the classroom.

Reportedly, in Malaysia, Teoh Beng Hock was tortured and murdered by the authorities.

In 2009, Pornthip Rojanasunand, a Thai pathology expert, testified in the Teoh Beng Hock case that there is an 80% probability that Teoh Beng Hock's death was caused by homicide.

Senator Carl Levin claims: 'Banks such as Goldman Sachs...bundled toxic mortgages into complex financial instruments, got the credit rating agencies to label them as AAA securities, and sold them to investors, magnifying and spreading risk throughout the financial system, and all too often betting against the instruments they sold and profiting at the expense of their clients.' (Goldman Sachs bosses.)

In Soviet Russia, the communist party centralised the collection of bribes.

In South Korea, bribes are paid by business leaders to a president's campaign fund.

But, in many countries, different ministries, agencies and levels of local government all set their own bribe rates independently. (Corruptionc)

At Inside Indonesia 92, Apr-Jun 2008, Ari Kuncoro, who lectures in economics at the University of Indonesia and who has a PhD from Brown University USA, wrote 'Corruption Inc'

He makes the following points:

1. Economists Shleifer and Vishny, in 1993, distinguished between centralised and decentralised bribery.

Decentralised bribery is worse for economic growth than centralised bribery.

2. In Suharto's Indonesia, corruption was centralised and predictable.

Corruption was controlled by the Suharto family and the top military leadership, in partnership with the big businesses run by the Chinese-Indonesians.

3. In 2001, after the fall of Suharto, Indonesia had a decentralisation program.

More power was given to the regions.

Today, a lot more people are demanding bribes - including local politicians, officials, soldiers and police.

But, the judicial system and the civil service remain somewhat corrupt.

"The scandalous acquittal by the South Jakarta court of former Bank Mandiri director E. C. W. Neloe ... is just one example."

In 2006, a bribery scandal involved the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Bagir Manan.

5. There have been successes.

For example, in 2006, former Minister of Religion Said Agil Husein al-Munawar was jailed for seven years for corruptly using Mecca pilgrimage money.

Several former or current directors of state enterprises are now also in court or jail.

6. At a lower level, anti-corruption prosecutions are having some effect.

7. In provincial governor elections in West Java and North Sumatra, 'evidently corrupt and inept incumbents' were soundly defeated.

8. In 2008 it was revealed that the central Bank of Indonesia paid large bribes to national parliamentarians debating a new finance bill.

While the deputy governor of the bank was detained, catching 'the big fish' in parliament proved to be more difficult.

President Yudhoyono publicly disapproved of the anti corruption body's method of 'sting' operations.

9. One big issue is political party funding.

Much of the parties' money is thought to come from corrupt government officials.

10. Lawmaker Al Amin Nasution was arrested in 2008 for receiving a bribe from Riau Islands provincial officials in return for persuading the Ministry of Forestry to change the status of some land sites in Bintan Island.

Many Indonesians believe the arrests so far have only exposed the tip of an iceberg.

11. "As long as corruption in core national institutions of the state is addressed only half-heartedly, the prospects for substantial improvement remain dim...

"In order to succeed nationally, the anti-corruption drive must be accompanied by sweeping reforms in the judicial system and the civil service."

1. During the crisis, the main aircraft used by the UK Meteorological Office to measure ash density was grounded, 'as it was due to be repainted'.

2. Computers at the Met Office produced maps showing the ash would cover an area stretching from Russia to Newfoundland.

But across almost all of this area, there was virtually no ash at all.

There was none visible to satellites.

3.The maximum density of ash over Britain was about one twentieth of the limit that scientists, the Government, and aircraft and engine manufacturers have now decided is safe.

Jim McKenna, the Civil Aviation Authority's head of Airworthiness, Strategy and Policy has admitted: 'It's also true that for some of the time, the density of ash above the UK was close to undetectable.'

"NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on 19 April 2010 that the ash cloud was not affecting the alliance's military readiness." (Iceland eruption )

On 20 April 2010, The Mail reported that 40 test flights across Europe found NO evidence of ash in jet engines, windows or lubrication systems. (Iceland volcano eruption: Met Office criticised. )Matthias Ruete, the European Commission's director general of transport, said air traffic authorities should not have imposed a widespread ban on flights.Iceland has had fairly frequent volcanic eruptions and sometimes they have gone on for many months.

None of the previous eruptions has affected international air travel in the same way as the April 2010 eruption.

As the Telegraph points out today, "Volcanoes have pumped ash plumes of this size and bigger into the atmosphere many times in the past without turning an entire continent into a no-fly zone."

Volcanic erruptions are fairly frequent in Indonesia.

In 1982, in Indonesia, a British Airways Jumbo flew directly over an erupting volcano and lost power to all its engines.

1. After the eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland on April 14 air traffic across Europe was grounded.

2. Joachim Hunold, CEO of Germany's second largest carrier, Air Berlin, stated in Bild am Sonntag, "not one single weather ballon has been put up in Germany to measure if and how much volcanic ash there is in the air. The closing of the airspace is entirely based on the results of a computer simulation at the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in England."

3. Veteran Air France pilot, Steven Savignol, said: "I can tell you from my own experience that with blue skies, aircrafts can fly perfectly and very safely. They made test flights with Air France, KLM, Lufthansa and of course, all is ok!"

4. The VAAC in England was working from a "computer simulation," and "has not even conducted an actual sky ash measurement."

The agency responsible for Volcanic Ash measurement for the region, including Iceland, is Britain's "Met Office," the UK's National Weather Service, which in turn is a Trading Fund within the Ministry of Defence, operating on a commercial basis under set targets according to their website.

They have to face not only the hazards of bird strikes, but rain, hail and even salt spray on take-off from coastal airports. Furthermore, sand is a common hazard from dust storms and from desert airfields.

7. The blanket ban under clear blue skies and glorious sunshine across Europe made some wonder whether there was something else going on under the cover of earthquake eruptions, such as a test run to shut down air travel internationally.

Since no one has ever been injured from an aircraft disabled by a volcanic eruption, it is a question that lingers.

Luis posted this comment:

The Spanish version of Meyssan's VoltaireNet mentions that the NATO exercise was to test new tactical weapons related to the anti-missile shield.

Seeing as the US's anti-missile programme is such crap, clearing the skies was the only way to make the buggery thing work.

He also points out that the costs to the European airlines industry was devastating, leaving them exposed to takeovers by US operators.

Gardiner wrote: "I've written about Clegg's distinctly anti-American views and his complete disregard for the NATO alliance, but his policies towards Israel deserve attention as well..."

In December 2009, Clegg was the lead signatory to an Observer letter by a group of MPs which stated:

"One year on from Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli government continues to imprison 1.5 million Palestinians and prevent the rebuilding of its shattered infrastructure.

"Israel's blockade of Gaza, described by the UN fact-finding mission as 'collective punishment', stops reconstruction materials and humanitarian aid from reaching those who so desperately require it…"

In December 2009, Nick Clegg wrote in the Guardian:

"The legacy of Operation Cast Lead is a living nightmare for one and a half million Palestinians squeezed into one of the most overcrowded and wretched stretches of land on the planet.

"How is the peace process served by sickness, mortality rates, mental trauma and malnutrition increasing in Gaza? … No peaceful coexistence of any kind is possible as long as this act of collective confinement continues."

The CIA wants a united Europe and has poured millions into bodies that support a united Europe.

At the time Jowell was involved in discussions with the drinks industry about a range of issues from relaxing drinking regulations to alcopops.

She was also working on a white paper about the future of tobacco use that would see the government back away from banning smoking in pubs...

Documents obtained by The Observer reveal that on 8 February 1998, Tessa Jowell's husband David Mills used a company based in the British Virgin Islands to buy 90,895 shares in a little-known firm called the Old Monk Company...

The Old Monk Company is involved with pubs and drink.Mills pumped £80,000 into the company...Reportedly the shares were sold, on 3 September 1999, for £147,977.

Assuming the detailed evidence collected by the Italian prosecutor is accurate, this suggests that in a space of just 18 months while his wife was public health minister, Mills had turned a profit of £67,000 - a return of more than 80 per cent...

Opponents are likely to seize on this as an apparent conflict of interest that should have been declared.

The Observer article continues: Within 18 months the Labour Party would be trying to secure votes at the 2001 General Election by sending out text messages to students saying: 'Cdnt give a XXXX 4 lst ordrs? Then vote Labour for extra time.'

In 2008, The Independent reported that Robin Ashby, a senior arms lobbyist with Bergmans, was gaining access to ministers inside Parliament using a research assistant pass allotted to Lady Harris, a top Liberal Democrat, who benefits financially from one of his companies.

William Yates, who died on 18 April 2010, served in the parliaments of both the United Kingdom and Australia. (William Yates - Telegraph)

From 1955 to 1966 he was a UK MP.

When the governments of Israel, France and the UK carried out an illegal attack on Egypt, Yates told parliament: "I have come to the conclusion that Her Majesty's Government have been involved in an international conspiracy."

Cairo Radio quoted Yates as saying Britain's Middle Eastern policy had "made her a laughing stock from Cairo to Singapore".

Yates's stance in the Suez crisis helped bring about the downfall of British Prime Minister Anthony Eden.

Yates sent a supportive telegram to King Hussein of Jordan during the Six-Day War.

In 1967 Yates urged King Hussein on behalf of the "ordinary British people" to insist on the return of Jerusalem to Jordan.

The electorate threw Yates out and the Conservative party dropped Yates as a candidate.

Yates was not pro-Israeli enough for his party.

Yates was, in 1960, probably the first British politician to predict that Israel would develop nuclear weapons.

The large scale NATO Response Force Air Live Exercise hosted by Germany began April 12 and will run through April 22. (arthurzbygniew.blogspot/)

So, they have cleared the air of civil aircraft?

In 1982, over Indonesia, a British Airways Jumbo lost power to all its engines after passing through a volcano ash plume.

It did regain power and landed safely.

19 days later, a Singapore Airlines 747 lost power to its engines because of the ash plume. The plane survived.

Since no one has ever been injured from an aircraft disabled by a volcanic eruption, it is a question that lingers.

(1) President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia has stated in a CNN interview that 'something incredibly evil was involved here'.

(2) A close examination of the precise terrain WEST of the Smolensk-Severnyi military airport reveals that for an extended area, the terrain is DISTINCTLY LOWER than the airport itself, which is situated on a sort of plateau. The area to the WEST of the military airport is between 100 and 150 feet BELOW the plateau. In THAT case, the plane COULD NOT HAVE SCRAPED THE TOPS OF TREES, unless the trees were about 400 feet high.

Had someone sabotaged the altimeter?

(3) An article in The Guardian cites a Polish MP who attended the memorial gathering in the Katyn forests, having travelled there by train, who claims that at the time of the alleged 'accident', which occurred just before 11:00 a.m., there were blue skies over Katyn, which is located about ten miles from the crash site. The Polish MP's remark is found at the end of the article: here's the link: guardian.poland-president-plane-crash-kaczynski

(4) An Italian source, informazionescorretta.blogspot.com, reported on 14th April that three Russian boys heard and saw an explosion before the crash.

(5) An aircraft crammed with Polish journalists landed just 40 minutes after the crash, and went straight to Katyn, as though nothing had happened.

(6) The pilot is reported by Polish sources to have been struggling with defective altimeter and airspeed indicators. There are reports that radar revealed that the plane was only 10 metres off the ground, which is inconsistent with the treetop story.

It should be noted that a favourite DVD (German intelligence) crash stratagem is to fiddle PRECISELY with the altimeter and speed indicators. This is in fact a known hallmark of a DVD OPERATION, raising suspicions of collaboration by foreign intelligence or even of a METABRIDGE OP. (Mossad-CIA-MI-6-DVD), as the Poles had snubbed the IMF over Greece.

(7) The 25-year-old aircraft had undergone a complete overhaul at a factory in southern Russia late in 2009.

This makes a planned malfunction likely.

(8) Issues contemporaneous with this catastrophe include:

• Most conspicuously, the peak level of intergovernmental tensions surrounding the disposition and settlement of diverted and stolen funds, given not least that Poland was exploited during the Bush II Administration, when the US Ambassador to Poland was a known George W. Bush crony and Polish institutions were flooded with the proceeds of illicit off-balance sheet trades leveraged off diverted and stolen funds.

"She said to me, 'What are you doing here Paul? You must go back to mummy and daddy. I will wait for you here.'

"I knew I was in heaven. But grandma said I had to come home. She said that I should go back very quickly.

"Heaven looked nice. But I am glad I am back with mummy and daddy now."

How do we know?

Paul came back to life more than three hours after he had died.

Professor Lothar Schweigerer, director of the clinic where the dead Paul Eicke had been taken, said: "I have never experienced anything like it.
"When children have been underwater for a few minutes they mostly don't make it. This is a most extraordinary case.

"My doctors were close to saying 'we can do no more' after two hours of thorax compression.

"This was because the chances of survival had gone and the little lad must have been brain dead.

"But then suddenly his heart started to beat again ... it was a fantastic miracle."

One in ten people claim to have had an out-of-body experience at some time in their lives.

Brain specialists, Prof. J.C.Eccles, Dr.Wilder Penfield and Prof.W.H.Thorpe have stated that the brain appears to be an organism to register and channel consciousness rather than produce it.

"The brain is messenger to consciousness", Eccles said.

David J.Chalmers Ph.D. writes in the Scientific American (1997):

Consciousness, the subjective experience of an inner self, could be a phenomenon forever beyond the reach of neuroscience. Even a detailed knowledge of the brain's workings and the neural correlates of consciousness may fail to explain how or why human beings have self-aware minds.

The Lancet of 15th December 2001 published an extensive Near Death Experience (NDE) study by Pim van Lommel, MD, cardiologist at Rijnstate Hospital in Arnhem, Netherlands.

He relates:

A patient saw during a NDE, besides his deceased grandmother, another man who looked at him full of love. Yet he did not know him.

More than ten years later he learned that he was born out of wedlock with a Jewish man during WW2. This man was deported and killed. When he was shown a photo of his biological father he recognised him as the man he had seen ten years before during his NDE

1. "THE first scientific study of 'near-death' experiences has found new evidence to suggest that consciousness or the 'soul' can continue to exist after the brain has ceased to function."

2. Two eminent doctors carried out a year-long study of heart attack survivors.

3. Their study concludes that a number of people have almost certainly had 'experiences' after they were pronounced clinically dead.

4. This suggests that the mind or consciousness can survive the death of the brain.

5. The study was based on interviews with survivors of heart attacks at Southampton General Hospital's cardiac unit.

It was published in the respected medical journal Resuscitation.

The study's authors are Dr Peter Fenwick, a consultant neuropsychiatrist at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, and Dr Sam Parnia, a clinical research fellow and registrar at Southampton hospital.

Dr Parnia said: "These people were having these experiences when we wouldn't expect them to happen, when the brain shouldn't be able to sustain lucid processes or allow them to form memories that would last.

"So it might hold an answer to the question of whether mind or consciousness is actually produced by the brain or whether the brain is a kind of intermediary for the mind, which exists independently."

Dr Fenwick said:"If the mind and brain can be independent, then that raises questions about the continuation of consciousness after death. It also raises the question about a spiritual component to humans and about a meaningful universe with a purpose rather than a random universe."

Four patients recounted feelings of peace and joy, heightened senses, lost awareness of body, and entering another world.

Dr Parnia, who was trained at the Guys and St Thomas' medical school, University of London, said: "I started off as a sceptic but, having weighed up all the evidence, I now think that there is something going on...
"If ... the brain is like an intermediary which manifests the mind, like a television will act as an intermediary to manifest waves in the air into a picture or a sound, we can show that the mind is still there after the brain is dead. And that is what I think these near-death experiences indicate."

Psychic & Spirit Magazine had an article on 'Divination The Tarot And Quantum Physics', by Cilla Conway, on Mar 16, 2005. (http://www.psychicsahar.com/l )

Conway points out that in the world of Quantum Physics we find: "There is an underlying unity: an energy or ‘field’ that exists throughout the universe....

"All matter in the universe can now be seen as interconnected by waves of energy. Matter itself is part of the same energy field – in other words there is no division between the material and the immaterial...

The 'field' "implies information exchange, as well as energy exchange, and could therefore provide instantaneous communication.

"The phenomena we call ... paranormal, such as telepathy, telekinesis,... and other oracular devices, foresight, intuition, and dreams, would just be part of this exchange, as we are part of The Field.

"As mystics have said for millennia, there is no separation. Equally important, this also corroborates the metaphysical tenet – that we create our own reality...

"Physics and mysticism are beginning to talk the same language: no longer are we considered to be a separate part of existence, nor is mind seen as separate from body. Some physicists even say that the cosmos is not only affected by consciousness, but is consciousness.

"As Lynne Taggart says, the physicists’ ‘work suggested a decentralized but unified intelligence that was far grander and more exquisite than Darwin or Newton had imagined, a process that was not random or chaotic, but intelligent and purposeful.’

Has a powerful faction within the Kosher Nostra decided that they could have the UK run by an alliance of Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats and Gordon Brown's Labour party?

In 2008, The Telegraph reported that friends of Nat Rothschild had warned that "the Conservative Party should halt their attempts to 'rubbish' Nat Rothschild, or risk the Shadow Chancellor being brought down". ('stop rubbishing' Rothschild or you're ...)

The Observer says he is a non-dom who "has been accused of accepting tens of millions of pounds in kickbacks from an arms deal between an Israeli company and the Indian government."

A Liberal Democrat - Labour alliance would be run by Peter Mandelson, David and Ed Miliband, Jack straw, Vince Cable, and Chris Huhne all of whom reportedly have Jewish roots.

Cyril Smith was a top Liberal. "Rochdale Alternative Press (Rochdale Alternative Press ) May 1979 (Number 78) - has obtained evidence that, during the 1960’s, Cyril Smith was using his position to get lads aged 15 – 18 to undress in front of him in order that he could get them to bend over his knee while he spanked their bare bottoms or let him hold their testicles in a bizarre 'medical inspection'."

Of course there could be an alliance of the Liberal Democrats with the Conservatives, or, a grand coalition of Liberal Democrats, Labour and Conservatives.

In 2005, Nil Clark wrote, in TheGuardianl,that David Cameron leader of the UK Conservative party "is an unreconstructed hawk, his campaign masterminded by the neoconservative trio of Tory MPs Osborne, Michael Gove and Ed Vaizey, all enthusiastic cheerleaders for Pax Americana.

"Osborne hailed the 'excellent neoconservative case' for action against Iraq in 2003 and denies that the invasion has radicalised Muslim opinion."

In 2005, Gaby Hinsliff and Ned Temko, in the Observer.l, listed the members of David Cameron's inner circle, which included:

1. George Eustice, who started his political career with the UK Independence Party (which is reportedly pro-Israel and pro-Pentagon.)

2. Oliver Letwin, who has links to the Rothschilds.

3. Michael Gove, who is an admirer of the American neo-cons.

4. Daniel Finkelstein, who is a Times journalist. Jeremy Thorpe was leader of the Liberal Party (which became the Liberal Democrats). His political career was damaged when an acquaintance, Norman Scott, claimed to be his former homosexual lover, and ended when he was charged with conspiring to murder Scott (Jeremy Thorpe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

If someone wants to start a war, the Liberals are the people to lend a hand.

Sir Edward Grey was the UK foreign Secretary in the Liberal government in Britain in 1914.

Tarpley claims that Grey used ‘perfidy and cunning’ to bring about a world war after the assassination of the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungar Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo, Bosnia.

According to Tarpley, if Sir Edward Grey had wanted to avoid war, he could have warned France and Russia that Britain would remain neutral. Russia was unlikely to go to war without the support of Britain.

The Kaiser apparently thought that if England did not fight, France and Russia were unlikely to do so either.

Tarpley claims that Grey gave France hints that England would support Russia and France.

These hints were then passed on to Russian Foreign Minister Sazonov, a British agent, and to Czar Nicholas II.

Tarpley points out that "the British were the first of the great powers to mobilize their war machine, in this case the Grand Fleet of the Royal Navy.

"On July 19, the British staged a formidable naval demonstration with a review of the Grand Fleet at Portsmouth.

"On the afternoon of July 28, Winston Churchill ordered the fleet to proceed during the night at high speed with no lights from Portsmouth through the Straits of Dover to its wartime base of operations at Scapa Flow, north of Scotland."
